Utah’s new law requires every student to take a year-and-a-half of Western civilization and American civics

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox signed a bill laying groundwork for major higher education improvements.

The law vaults Utah toward competing with Florida for the best higher education reforms that support American self-governance.

Leftist control of U.S. education for more than a century has resulted in an extreme shortage of faculty, administrators, and teachers capable of supporting core academic knowledge in an intellectually serious manner.

The Utah law is a modified version of the General Education Act model legislation created by the National Association of Scholars ( NAS ), Ethics and Public Policy Center, and the Martin Center for Academic Renewal .

The model bill offers quicker possibilities for firing malignant professors who teach politicized and wasteful courses.
